Had this all the time with GT5, haven't played that in quite some time now!
That and I find Forza 4 more engaging for some reason

teejay: If I wanted a comeback Id wank in front of a fan

I had four scuba air cylinders and two deco (50% and 100% O2) cylinders hydro tested and cleaned and filled with their correct gases a few days ago, and picked them up this morning, however the shop was closed so they left them for me in their cleaning shed, get them home (90 minutes away), analyse the gas mixtures and find the pure O2 to be 80 and the 50% to be 40%. This really grinds my gears.

I worked for a Telco for a number of years (iiNet - Faults) & Sorry but the Charge is legit & fair in my opinion.. The Work was completed by Telstra's own accord or still needs some work to be completed by technicians in the field. (eg. Installation or termination of Leadin cable to Premises).

In most circumstances all work is done & completed by Telstra prior to anyone paying them a cent. Eg. Leadin Cable to premises from the Pit, To Pillar, To Exchange.

You will Typically find that when a new house is built the charge is applied only to the first connection & this is for Telstra to recoup their costs & time. Thereafter is a Standard $59 connection fee which involves a tech performing the termination at the exchange MDF, in which terminates to your carrier of choice DSLAM.

Have seen friends bitch about the same thing previously, before being explained what the charge is actually for. They tend to understand in the end. None the less; Telstra Can still Die in a fire .

but it is not a new house. and there was a phone number at some point and I was told it is no longer available. I understand that $299 is fair for first connection and the physical line and stuff. but another $299 for having it reconnected just to get Naked DSL again? how does that work?

How do you analyse them?

If the Pair going to your premises was taken from the pit outside your premises & allocated elsewhere, then it involves a new connection being made. Specially if your Street is limited on cable runs (Faulty & provisioned lines). Also If line is disconnected for a certain amount of time, Telstra are within their rights to allocate the pair elsewhere.

It would have more than likely been a neighbour nearby who decided to connect a new phone line to their premises (Two lines) or wanted ADSL. Telstra would have identified a free Pair in the street with no service on it which it would have then allocated accordingly.

Telstra's records in Linux online would've then been updated to reflect no previous service for your Current/New Service to connect on.. Hence requiring Telstra to Haul new cable to the street etc.

Correcto. There are all different types, some are just O2, the one I've got does O2, HE, CO.

argh..... oh well. just wondering if the cost was legit. actually it is more frustrating that I probably won't get any internet till after new year. which means 1 whole week of staying home with nothing to do.
